Who is SURI?
SURI is a sustainable toothbrush and dental brand that produces the award-winning SURI Pro 2.0 Electric Toothbrush, as well as refillable toothpaste and bathroom accessories.
The main star of the show is the Pro 2.0 Electric Toothbrush. The award-winning sonic toothbrush combines high performance with a focused design to make everyday brushing more enjoyable and less of a chore.
Is SURI a sustainable brand?
Yes, SURI uses sustainable practices in different forms. Since releasing the 2.0 Pro toothbrush, SURI has taken it upon itself to rethink the materials used to make its toothbrushes.
The body of the toothbrush is made from aluminium. Aluminium is a material that is designed to be long-lasting and is easily recyclable, which is a great sustainable practice. The toothbrush heads are made from plant-based corn starch, and the bristles are made from castor oil. The ingredients are bio-based, which reduces the use of petroleum-based plastics. Another great aspect is that the heads can be recycled for free in the UK and the US.
Want to know what SURI do with their used plant-based brush heads? They get turned into soap dishes. That's right, the brush heads we send back to SURI (in prepaid compostable mailer bags) are made into soap dishes. An average of 18 brush heads make one soap dish. The brush heads are sorted by colour once the bristles have been removed. After that, they are ground down into small pellets, then air-dried, ready to be melted and moulded. Lastly, the granules are heated to high temperatures and injection moulded into steel dies.
You can buy the soap dishes in a variety of colours on SURI's website.
Tell me more about the SURI Pro 2.0 Toothbrush
The SURI Pro 2.0 toothbrush is an upgrade on the SURI 1.0. I can't compare the two toothbrushes because I've only used the 2.0 version.
*The 2.0 toothbrush is powerful, gentle and efficient when it comes to cleaning teeth. SURI promises that the toothbrush will make your gums four times healthier in around 2 weeks of use. It can also remove up to five times more plaque after the first use. The toothbrush gives up to 30,000 sonic vibrations per minute, so I know that the brush is working its socks off to clean my teeth and gums. There is a 2-minute quadrant timer on the toothbrush, which is a great feature as it allows you to brush 30 seconds on each section of your mouth.
The toothbrush also has a new feature called the TouchSense pressure sensor, meaning the toothbrush will alert you if you're brushing too hard by using a few short vibrations.
The toothbrush itself has 34 days of battery life, so it's perfect for travelling, as you can easily charge it before you leave for your holiday and it should stay charged throughout.
The brush heads are made from cornstarch and castor oil, so very sustainable and eco-friendly, which you don't see a lot with brush heads.
I'm starting to think there is nothing that this toothbrush can't do!
How does the sonic technology work?
The sonic vibrations use gentle vibrations to sweep your brush head from side to side thousands of times every minute. The motions help to lift away plaque and also create tiny bubbles around the teeth and gums where the brush just can't reach. This, in effect, gives the teeth a deeper clean than what you would get with a manual brush.
What are the benefits of sonic vibrations for gum health?
There are great benefits of sonic vibrations in a toothbrush that aid good gum health:
- Gentler on gums and enamel.
- Increased blood circulation and healing.
- Reduced risk of gum recession.
- Targets the bacteria that cause gingivitis.
What comes in the box?
The box contents are:
- SURI Pro 2.0 Toothbrush
- 1x plant-based brush head
- Travel clean-and-charge case (optional)
- Wireless charge stand
- Magnetic mirror mount
- Plant-based head cover
The box doesn't come with a *USB-C plug to charge the toothbrush. I needed to buy one so I could eventually charge the toothbrush. To be fair, it's not too expensive, and it's cheaper than buying from another brand on Amazon. Also, FYI, this USB-C plug is not compatible with the 1.0 toothbrush.
I do need to discuss the Travel clean-and-charge case.
If you're going to buy this toothbrush, please buy this case with it. When you put the toothbrush into the case, its built-in UV-C LED light kills up to 99% of germs and bacteria. I love that it is slim, compact and travel-friendly. It gives me peace of mind that in between brushes, the case is killing the germs and bacteria that have accumulated on the brush.
How much does the Pro 2.0 cost?
The SURI Pro 2.0 costs £105.00.
How long do the brush heads last?
The brush heads last up to 3 months. It is recommended to change them every 2-3 months for efficacy.
Let's delve into SURI as a brand:
Delivery and Returns
The brand ships to the UK (where they are mainly based), the US and the majority of Europe. The brand also ships to many other countries worldwide. If ordering from the UK, the shipping costs £2.70 for orders under £25. For orders over £25, shipping is free!
SURI offers a 100-day money-back guarantee on all electric toothbrushes from the date of delivery. If you're unsatisfied with the toothbrush, they'll refund you. There are eligibility requirements, so please visit SURI's website before returning.
Refunds may take up to 10 working days.
Sustainability
SURI definitely practices sustainability by using plant-based brush heads, and the toothbrush production itself uses eco-friendly practices.
Quality
The Pro 2.0 toothbrush's quality is second to none. A lot of thought has gone into the toothbrush's design, the ease of use and its compactness. It sounds strange to say, but the brush has that kind of professionalism about it; it feels like I'm using something that is dentist-worthy.
My honest thoughts on the SURI Pro 2.0 Toothbrush...
It really is a fantastic product. My teeth genuinely do feel like they've had a good and thorough clean after use (as I should feel after brushing my teeth). The design is sleek, compact and very travel-friendly. The travel case is a brilliant aspect of the whole package. I love knowing that if I travel anywhere, my toothbrush is tucked away in a travel case, away from any dust particles or germs lingering in the air (or my suitcase).
The features of the TouchSense pressure sensor and the timer allow me to brush my teeth effectively. I'm guilty of using an electric toothbrush like a manual one sometimes, probably due to a lapse in concentration, especially when I'm in a rush and want to brush my teeth as quickly as I can! The TouchSense sensor alerts me when I do that, and since using this toothbrush, I've gotten better at brushing my teeth more sensitively!
Another item I haven't discussed much is the magnetic mirror mount. I love that I can keep the toothbrush away from the clutter on my bathroom shelf, and I like how convenient and chic it is to have a toothbrush sitting nicely on the mount.
The brush also comes in other lovely colours, including 'Winter Fern' (a light sage green), 'Sunset Bloom' (a coral shade) and 'Midnight Black'. The colour I have, 'Canyon Sunrise', complements my bathroom well.
One small critique is the fact that it doesn't come with a plug to charge the brush. As I said, it's better to buy SURI's own rather than one from Amazon. But that's only one negative, because all in all, the toothbrush is fantastic and is definitely worth the money!
